It’s the strangest thing. There are two things that noticeably upset my Dusty. The first thing is saxophone music. Whenever a saxophone is played on TV or on CD (as Matt explores his recent jazz craze) Dusty gets all fidgety. She’ll be resting peacefully or playing loudly – oblivious to the world – but the second a saxophone solo comes on she stops what she’s doing, sits up, and tilts her head to the side while facing the speaker and\/or television.<\/P>
\n

The same thing happens whenever Condoleeza Rice appears on TV. Interestly, Dusty is disturbed by both the image AND sounds of Dr. Rice. Just this morning I was eating my oatmeal and fending off the Dusty-beast when the TV began airing an interview with Condoleeza. She immediately stopped trying to attack my oatmeal and looked at the television with her head tilted to the side.<\/P>

It scares me. I know that the Bush administration has been successful in (dare I say) brainwashing many people. But now they have the ability to manipulate dogs, too! I wonder if there are some sort of high pitch sounds accompanying Dr. Rice’s interviews that only dogs can hear? Maybe it’s telling them to sabotage the Democrats? <\/P>
\n

People, let me know if you notice strange animal behavior. When your dog is peeing on newspapers, does he\/she only soil the articles that denounce Bush? When John Kerry’s commercials appear on TV, does your parakeet talk loudly to drown out the TV? I’m not a conspiracy theorist…but it’s something to think about.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
